Fuel for Talent
For students interested in creative arts, the 22nd Apolliad here next May offers an opportunity to have original works presented before an audience which will include competent judges in many fields.
The Apolliad is fuel for talent, for men who are not satisfied to let abilities grow stagna’nt and die away.
The steel-blue locomotive without coal lies idle on the sidetrack, rusting in the rain. Out on the desert, the grounded airplane without gasoline sinks in the sand, lashed by swirling simoons. A majestic liner corrodes in harbor, helpless to sail without oil.
Great machines of steel that carry us across continents, over towering mountains, far out on the seas are lost without fuel to set powerful wheels and pistons in motion, to give them life and energy and reason for being.
Are the trains that flash across prairies, vessels that cut through Atlantic swells, planes that soar high over the clouds mightier than men? Are these machines of steel to rule supreme while men, without fuel, lie stagnant in lethargy like death.
No. Some men have fuel, and they are the greatest machines of all. Men are machines made to create, and their fuel is the will to create.
As machines of steel travel those lanes for which they are intended—the seas, the land, the skies—so men have their own lanes—sciences, literature, music, art, a hundred others.
Is it fitting, then, that we should remain motionless for lack of fuel? Should the wheels of tilent become rusted to their bearings?
Not many men have the fuel within. Like the locomotive, they must receive it from outside. In the oreative arts, sources of fuel are sadly lacking. Not a drop can be lost.
That is why the Apolliad at SC offers driving power for those who are waiting. Men who are writers and dramatists and artists can set out and travel broader oceans, wider continents, deeper skies than any machine of steel if they accept what the Apolliad offers.
Here is fuel for the maiden voyage. It should not go to waste.

Talent on Parade
by Mary Ann Mohlengraft
Predicting that the audience would gc insane during the performance of Brainer Duffield's “Mooncalf Mugford,” Jim George, director. proffered a straight jacket to play-goers as he explained the show which will appear with the four one-act plays to be presented in Touchstone Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Starring Madgel Wolfard and Steve Cardwell as Etta and John, the mentally unbalanced husband and wife, respectively, the action takes place in a New England sea coast town.
Previous to his full-time job of being Insane, John was a fisherman. During the course of his life he married Etta, who unfortunately is sane. By seeing the play through Etta s eyes, the audience is carried into the state of insanity as she lapses into a mental condition similar to her husband's.
The author accomplishes this by clever dialogue coupled with the strong force of love. In one scene, I John tells Etta of his wonderful j

ally good, with Ted Mason's "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony” standing out. In the story group. Hal Le-vich's “Not On a Silver Platter," read hilariously by Joe Flynn, and “Ernie Pyle on fe Shima,” by James O'Reilly, stood out.
In general, the poetry selections were topnotch. Saul Goldblatt's dances, “Comfortable, Comfortable Professor” and “Rugged Individualist,” were fine, as were Lorraine Currie’s anfi Phil Nasta’s highly successful “Loneliness Bound.”
Many of the guests left before the concluding playlet, “My Love on 3lst Street.” They could not have done better.
Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid presided and Mrs. Tacie Hanna Rew took a bow as chairman of the overall program. The total effect was of an abundance of talent which could have been handled with a bit more imagination.

Saturday night’s Apolliad program proved two things to this critic. The first is that there is a lot of fine creative talent at SC, doing work that shows great promise. Tlie second is that some kind of overall stage manager w’ould have immeasurably improved an otherwise ineptly staged presentation.
It is too bad JJiat the audience of distinguished guest-critics could not have been treated to a smoother show, with less high-school-like pauses and dead spots. As it was, the excellence of some of the better literary, musical, and dance selections was almost enough to overcome the tendency to ennui, but the program was much too long.
An opening radio drama, “This is Then” by Charles Knauber, was lost in fuzzy sound and fuzzier writing. The first poetry group was gener-
When the final final finally rings down on the spring semester, thousands of SC refugees will head for hinterlands. For seeing this. Wampus has produced a vacation map of California that will be vital equipment for all Trojans. Not only will the principal cities be described but the artist has taken pains to show where the best virgin timber, quail hunting. Indians, and bears can be found.
This map will be inclosed witi' each copy of the Wampus at nt* extra cost to the reader. All girl* interested in selling the Wampu* next Wednesday for 25c a cop? may come to the Wampus office 403 Student Union. * a.m.. Wednesday.
